What government do we want?How do we want our government to behave and how do we want to be governed? More and more the answer to that question is becoming increasingly important to our daily happiness and well being.
Providing you with the information needed to answer that question is the main goal of CW. Every CW topic category contributes to that answer.
However, the question is approached directly within:
Featured articleInalienable Rights
|
The constitution of AmericaThe United States began as a society determined that liberty is fundamental to life. That premise, carefully adopted by a newly formed nation, would provide freedom, prosperity, and security for many millions over the next 230+ years. Liberty as a preeminent value has never been common. It was not commonplace then and America's impact can only be understood by examining our heritage, political debates, and evolution of government. We created something new - a constitutional republic with democratic input and a novel approach to government as a protector of the rights of 'the people', put in place because we understood that the coexistence of liberty, prosperity, security, and internal peace is fragile. We bet the future of our country on the strength of those protections. And America became the most successful of countries if personal freedom and well being, are the measures.
Please also read about the CW mission.
|
CW seeks objective discussion of civic issues. It is in response to the political process as it has become today - a process of partial or distorted information and rhetoric calculated to elicit an emotional reaction, all to serve political agendas. CW prefers political advocacy that places objective truth above agenda. It's a tall order that will require the participation of an expanding group of contributors.
How to Contribute and Why
This is a wiki (just like Wikipedia), so it's easy to contribute your knowledge and insights.
